Dear Ones,

It already can seem too much to deal with excessive heat, floods, and fires; then, escalation of war, and deepening division between people are bringing greater tension, fears, and unrest to many people. On the other hand, the growing number of conscious, caring, compassionate, creative folks have begun a ground swell of love, sanity, and possibility to our shared consciousness. Truth always wins out, especially as we continue making the right choices in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Never forget that you and I are never alone in our wise choice to focus on the Absolute, rather than become entrenched in the relative occurrences in our personal lives or in the world. Let’s let each of us continue choosing the Power of Love over the love of power, remaining steadfast in our faith in this Power that is greater than any of us, yet within and all around every one of us.

An occasional mistaken choice can be remedied at any time with a shift in consciousness. That’s the beauty of this Law of Mind that responds to our belief and word, as we may set It in a new direction with a newer, truer idea. This is the basis of Rev. Mike’s talk this Sunday, June 29^th, as he presents, “You Get a Do-Over,” an important part of our monthly theme, “Making All the Right Choices.” 

Be with us in the cool and lovely UCCVF sanctuary at 1:00 P.M. and join the Practitioner of the Day at 12:30 for Meditation before Celebration. If you are out of the area, log onto our website, www.cslphilly.org and go to the orange Watch Online button to be with us virtually.

As we learn the principles and practices of our wonderful, Science of Mind teaching, we become more proficient in our affirmative prayers; however, there are times we wisely reach out to a Professional Practitioner to assist us in moving from doubt to faith. They are all listed on their own page on our website, and any of them will welcome a call from you.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

All the “noise” of the world challenges us to find that Sacred Center of Peace within our hearts that is always available to us. It is from this place of eternal calm, serenity, and sanity that we are gathered up in Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom and moved to a deeper faith. As we make the conscious choice to turn our attention completely away from external disturbances to God’s sweet embrace, we are returned to our Divine Power. It is this point of Peace that we rest in clarity and choose to plant seeds of Unity and Harmony.

We need never remain at the effect of outside occurrences, as The Universal Power for Good is always at work and ready for our personal experience and wise and proper direction. Let’s leave the world’s cacophony and listen intently for the sweet sounds of Spirit.

As we continue the monthly theme, “Making All the Right Choices,” our topic will be, “Choosing Peace Instead of This.” Join us at 1:00 P.M. at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. If you are not in the Philly area, please be with us for our Celebration by tuning in at 1:00 P.M. and going to our website: www.cslphilly.org and press the orange “Watch Online” button.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners stand ready to provide spiritual support and can be reached on our website or on Sundays at Celebration. You may also place a request in the Prayer Chest on Sundays or request a “Three-Minute-Miracle” after Celebration on Sundays.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Dear Ones,

As we approach Father’s Day this Sunday, many childhood memories tend to emerge, some sweet and happy, and others unpleasant or disappointing. People tend to have a wide range of experiences, as the human condition holds so many kinds of relationships, some nurturing and supportive, and others less so. We tend to do the best we can with parenting, often “learning on the job!” Many of our fathers are no longer on the planet, and we keep those loving remembrances that maintain a healthy perspective.

Jesus called God, “Abba,” Hebrew for “father,” as he was deeply aware of being “the Beloved, in whom God was well pleased.” Knowing his oneness with Source, he also taught his disciples that they, too, were “the Beloved,” as we all are. One Spirit, animating all life, individualizing Itself in all humanity, is “father to all creation,” and has ordained that we are the originators of our life experiences.

One Mind, One Power, common to all people, makes it possible for us to make conscious, creative choices, uniquely expressing Spirit through using the Law of Mind for ever-growing Good in our lives and in the world. Infinite Intelligence is the starting point of all creation, and It is ours to use. We are all centers of conscious creation, so let’s choose wisely and lovingly.

Kudos and deep gratitude to Licensed Professional Practitioner, Zulma Gonzalez, who inspired our Beloved Community last Sunday, while Rev. Mike and I were in Oregon. We are so fortunate to have such wise and good friends in the area. This Sunday, June 15^th, is Father’s Day. As we continue the monthly theme, “Making All the Right Choices,” our topic will be, “The Idea is Father to the Form.” Do join us at 1:00 P.M. at UCCVF, 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. If you are not in the Philly area, please be with us for our Celebration by tuning in at 1:00 P.M. and going to our website: www.cslphilly.org  and press the orange “Watch Online” button.

Whenever challenging or confusing circumstances may arise, a phone call to one of our Licensed Professional Practitioners can provide spiritual support that will bring clarity and inspiration. You may reach any of them on our website or on Sundays at Celebration. You may also place a request in the Prayer Chest on Sundays or request a “Three-Minute-Miracle” after Celebration on Sundays.

Dear Ones,

We sometimes misjudge events and life experiences, believing we have made a mistaken choice or entered onto an erroneous path, only to discover later that it was the best thing that could have happened. Let’s not be too quick to pronounce an action incorrect, as a bit of time may prove otherwise. Thinking of those concerning activities that turned out to be blessings, we may keep our minds open to similar experiences.

So long as our intention is pure and we are wise enough to engage Spirit in leading the way, we may trust that the outcome will be positive and life affirming, no matter how a temporary appearance to the contrary may seem. It is not ours to judge, only to continue expanding our hearts to see a greater picture and to rely on Divine Wisdom to bring about what we sincerely pray about.

Deepening our connection to Source grows our faith and adds that “prayer-propellant” to our spiritual mind treatments (affirmative prayer) in such a beautiful way that we come to expect wonderful results, either sooner or later. Life is good, we receive the guidance we require, and “All things work together for the Good!”

Many thanks to Rev. Mike for caring well for everyone last Sunday, when I was not able to be present at UCC. We are definitely a Team that delivers in the midst of occasional surprises! Continuing our theme for June, “Making All the Right Choices,” our wonderful presenter for this coming Sunday, Zulma Gonzalez, will share with you on, “It’s All Right Now.” She is one of the marvelous Practitioners from our Sister Community, “Center of Peace,” in Philadelphia, and you can expect a Principle-based lesson, filled to overflowing with deep wisdom and great joy!

Don’t miss delightful Zulma Gonzalez, R.Sc.P., this Sunday at 1:00 P.M. gathering at UCCVF at 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. If you are not in the Philly area, please be with us for our Celebration by tuning in at 1:00 P.M. and going to our website: www.cslphilly.org and press the orange “Watch Online” button.

Dear Ones,

As we enter into the new month of June, we begin to think about Father’s Day, weddings, vacations, and many other things that involve making wise and conscious choices. How shall we celebrate Dad? Can we attend that destination wedding? Have we made our vacation travel reservations? In fact, we are making decisions every day, throughout the entire year, and we are wise enough to be as conscious as possible while making them.

Probably the most important choice we ever make is to acknowledge our Source before considering anything else. This is why our theme for June is, “Making All the Right Choices,” and the topic this coming Sunday is, “Always God First.” It becomes too easy to be distracted by externals and get off center, the Center of Life, the wise and powerful space within us that always leads us correctly and successfully.  We cannot go wrong when we begin at the Beginning, the Creator of Life Itself, and follow Its Wisdom in all decision-making, whether large or small. As we let ourselves be guided each day by this Infinite Intelligence, every choice will be positive and life affirming and every day a grand success.

This Sunday will be our regular 1:00 P.M. Sunday gathering at UCCVF at 45 Walker Road, Wayne, PA. If you are not in the Philly area, please be with us for our Celebration by tuning in at 1:00 P.M. and going to our website: www.cslphilly.org and press the orange “Watch Online” button.

Our Licensed Professional Practitioners are available to you for spiritual support and may be reached on their dedicated page on our website or contacted on Sundays at Celebration. You may also place a request in the Prayer Chest on Sundays or request a “Three-Minute-Miracle” after Celebration on Sundays.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
